Inspired by: Once I started making quinoa more often, I found out that it tastes good with just about anything in it. I had these ingredients in the refrigerator and threw them in and it was so good with the spicy grilled shrimp I made that night.

Ingredients:

2 cups quinoa

2 ½ cups water (I always use 1 1/4 cups water for 1 cup quinoa)

½ teaspoon salt and a dash of olive oil

1 mango chopped in small pieces

1/2 – 1 cup chopped mint leaves (typically 1 bunch of mint)

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ cup light olive oil

Juice of one lime

Preparation:

Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh sieve – run under cold water until water runs clear.
